Star Worshippers

Using the world to enforce His precepts.....

Rev. 12:3"And there appeared another sign in heaven, and Lo! a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his heads, seven diadems; AND HIS TAIL DRAWS A THIRD PART OF THE STARS OF HEAVEN, AND DID CAST THEM TO THE EARTH".

Lk. 6:26 " Woe unto you whensoever all men shall speak well of you, for according to the same things were their fathers doing unto the false prophets".

Pro. 16:18 " Before grevious injury, pride! And before a fall, haughtiness of spirit".

As the ancient pagan demon worshippers of antiquity worshipped the stars and heavenly bodies and ensnared the children of Israel into doing it also, so present day professing christians have been ensnared in doing likewise.

God is using the world to enforce His precepts when those who profess Him will not obey Him willingly. The world is the adversary; the adversary is the dragon; the dragon's color, red, means ANGER; the stars of heaven are "christian celebrities"; ie, men who are "looked up to", are well spoken of, and/or revered because of their "great ministry", personality, wonderful "edifying" teaching, and on and on.

Present day professing christians have their "stars", whom they have exalted and placed on pedestals; various "pastors", "teachers", "ministers", apostles", and etc. By doing this, they are, by thought and word, placing such men on a level where God has not placed them, and by doing so, placing these men in great danger.

Most of these professing ones have grown up in this celebrity driven, God hating pagan culture, and having been infected with it in their life "before Christ", carry it over into their "christian life", in the same manner of the Corinthians, seeing no harm in doing so. Living by senses, they can't see or hear or perceive Christ except through some man whom they can "touch with their senses"- read his books, listen to his tapes/cd's, attend his meetings, etc. Of course books and tapes must be purchased with money at the violation of scripture which says, "freely you have received, freely give", but they can't give it away, for then their "ministry" which is founded on mammon will collapse.

Because the lives of the professing ones do not match their confession, God uses the world against them to enforce His precepts which they are not obeying. They have made celebrities-"stars"- of those who are supposed to be servants, so God is in the process of "cutting them down to size"- "bringing them down to earth" where they belong.

Num.32:23 " But if you shall not do this, Lo! You will have sinned against Yahweh; and TAKE NOTE OF YOUR SIN, THAT IT WILL FIND YOU OUT".

Being looked up to by others-man worship-is the sin "which finds them out". This sin carries with it the thought that "God doesn't see". This is self delusion-deception-a type of blindness, an inherent aspect of pride.

Lk. 12:2-3 "But nothing has been covered up which shall not be uncovered, and hidden, which shall not be made known. Because as many things in the darkness you have said, in the light shall be heard; and what to the ear you spoke in the chambers, shall be proclaimed on the housetops".

These men think they can get away with their adulteries, fornications, sodomite practices and money grubbing, ostentatious Hollywood lifestyles. SIN AUTOMATICALLY BRINGS WITH IT IT'S CONSEQUENCES. God is raising up unbelieving accusers who will make known - "shout from the housetops"- the hypocritical behavior of these exalted pretenders.

It is the adversary (the red dragon) that has "moved up" these men and it is he whom God uses to bring them back to earth. The adversary says, "Take heed, I moved you up, so I can take you down".
